I'm on a roll tonight! I haven't gotten six posts up in a single day in weeks. See what you can do when you're healthy, only work half a day, and get tomorrow off? Perhaps next year I'll just take the whole month off work to post sharity, I think they'll understand. Anyhow, this is a slight remastering of a non-Christmas album that has proven to be very Christmassy. I first shared a few tracks from this during Christmas in July 2009, and I liked them so much, felt they were so in the spirit of the season if not the letter, that I decided to share the whole thing, which I also did in 2009. In fact, it was one of my very few new shares in 2009 after my hard drive went south for the winter and never came back. A month or so ago I found my original WAV files still on the new HD, and I ran them through ClickRepair to make them sound all that much better. So that's the remastered version you're downloading tonight. Unlike many of the other carillon albums I share on here, this one features studio accompaniment from an orchestra and chorus, and I think that makes a huge difference in the general listenability of the carillon. Why don't you give this one a download and let me know if it's everything I'm making it out to be? This is John Klein With Orchestra And Chorus Arranged And Conducted By Leo Addeo-Bells In Toyland-John Klein At The Sun Life Centenary Carillon (RCA Victor LSP-3832, Stereo, 1967).
